UK Police to get Tasers

The BBC are reporting that barking mad Home Secretary David Blunkett has authorised the issue of Tasers to UK police forces. They apparently are very safe and there is only a "very low risk of fatality". Well that's alright then.

If only they'd been issued this morning they could have zapped the bolshy farmers that invaded the House of Commons today.

Blunkett's next policy announcement could be the replacement of the now banned fox hunting with dogs (yay!) with quadbike mounted hunting of burglars, using Tasers to bring them down. That'll compensate the farmers for their loss of fox hunting and bring down crime at a single stroke. Probably.

Tally Ho!
